    True, I did forget about onsite this past weekend. Usually regardless of Cons I had normally seen max 3 CGC business days before switched to QC. Thanks for the response.

    Submitted my first Value tier book. Usually do fast track modern or normal modern submit. It has been sitting in Graded status for over a week. Is this normal due to the slow process or should I inquire?

    We were all hoping for you, but expected the outcome. Better start the CC dispute.

    Great, he is going to get no ASM and we all get a virus.

    I can't wait to see what shows up.

    I can't speak for the Thanos 17 ordering....I passed as I was not a fan of the cover art. But all other orders I have made through Comic Mint have been 100% 9.8 quality. I have had delayed orders like with my Metal 6, but they responded to emails quickly. Sucks you had such a bad experience.
  7. Stephen H
    I would grade and sell if your happy with the return you will get. I think even in the worst case a CGC 9.8 13 will always be at least a $100 book. I sold multiple copies of 13....for as low as $10 when it first started picking up steam, kicking myself. But I have 4 with CGC now.....When I get them back I will keep the highest grade and sell the rest.

    I would if the 1:200 was unique and not just the virgin of the 1:25.

    The prices are crazy, even with the understanding it is a $8.00+ book. I was fortunate enough that I got two at $80.00 total from Scorpion Comics. I am not sure if they miscalculated the price, it was a flash sale or what, but hopefully they honor it as they are now charging $100.00. I am guilty and feed into the Mattina and Dell Otto craze. I however use my sales from other books and from extra copies pre-ordered on Wednesday to help pay for them. But I agree, its getting to be a weekly occurrence that I almost can't keep up with. Luckily I am not a JSC or Granov fan, so I save some money....and the Spec Spider-Man 300 Hughes will be the last of his I buy. 4 copy sets are two much. Trade and Virgin I am okay with.

    This one is great! I ordered, but my LCS handled for me so I am not cc'd on tracking. I will let you know if I get it though. Ordered 2 sets I believe.
  12. Stephen H
    Forgot about the #50......that didn't come Virgin did it?
  13. Stephen H
    This one is nice, Not sure how much Superman he has done. I will definitely be picking up a few of these.

    I would personally stay away from the brittle pages as well. From what I have been explained, alot of collectors will pass, and the problem can still persist in the slab, so if ever reslabbed, you could see a downgrade in the overall grade of the book later on.

    I agree with Matt. More Sellers are good. I worry about selling on Ebay. I have a book listed right now for over $1000 and I am worried as hell when it sells that a buyer is going to try and scam me. Just look at the feedback, and use Paypal with credit card.

    I can respect that. The shady business tactics some do does get to me. For example I refused to buy the Adi Granov Infinity Countdown #1 variant by Unknown Comics because it states only "800" released online (other held for damages and cons), and after different attempts to confirm actual print number, and them never responding, I passed on buying. Sure then printed 1000-3000 of them, but they are not obligated to state the amount.
  19. Stephen H
    Just Devil's Advocate here. I purchase plenty of Silver Age, etc.. for just the cover. Have you never purchased a Key for the cover alone? Even though the story was no good? I see variants as no different. Typically if I spend over cover, its for a virgin variant where the art can really be appreciated. Just my opinion.
  20. Stephen H
    I buy a few, but only artists I enjoy. Resale value means little to me, I think of it as more of a piece of art for a PC. I will not purchase a variant just because its a 1:50, or 1:100, I have to actually enjoy the art. Recent examples are Mattina and Dell'Otto exclusives I have purchased genuinely because the art is incredible. I wish Marvel did more attractive Cover Bs like DC. I buy almost every Middleton, Frison, Mattina and AH, and Coipel variants at cover price.

    My Goals for this year are to downsize my collection. I plan on keeping to the few modern runs I want, Batman, Claremont X-Men, some Image titles and then just slabbed keys and variants. I will continue to read singles for a little bit. I am unsure if I want to keep the singles I buy, and then just sell off the series I don't like or being to trade wait.

    It has improved every year IMO. I am not a big attendee of Cons, as this is the only one I have attended. They have built up a great group of Creators to be present this year, however if you are going strictly for this, an not for any typical "Vegas" attractions, I would go to a bigger con.
  23. Stephen H
    At least he knew what they had. I found fine in an LCS backissue box.
